📝 Season 8 premiere. The staff fixates on Robert California's mysterious two-column list and who made the 'winners' cut—office gossip and workplace anxiety fuel the whole episode. The alcohol flag is a margarita-pizza gag, not actual drinking. One of the mildest Office episodes; fine for most 10+ families, including those starting the post-Michael seasons.
